The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Mark Connolly finished 130th of 365 men in the Open division at Cardiff 2026, in 1:17:45, faster than 64% of the field.
The stations carried this race: faster than 71% of the field across all eight, against 51% on the runs. The wall balls were the standout, 1:50 quicker than the median and 51st of 365. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:36 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and Glasgow 2026 were 2:48 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
